Hello,
I am having a problem understanding how trace files are generated in qvto.

I think it is automatically generated when the transformation has in and out models.
But what about in-place transformations ? Is there a way to generate a trace file of the executed mappings ?

Another question, can we control what information is stored in the trace file. As far as I know, it only stores a list of mappings that were applied during the transformation.

But what if i also want to store the values of some parameters and the context on which these mappings were applied.. Is that possible ?

Is there any link explaining this, or any examples ?

Thanks a lot

Trace is generated automatically upon executing transformation.
Transformation signature (any combination of [in]/[inout]/[out] models,
even empty list) does not matter - trace is always filled with the list
of mappings being executed.
Trace is utilized by resolve*() functions. When transformation finishes
trace is saved to trace file (.trace by default) if specified in launch
configuration.

No, there's no possibility to save addition information to trace.

Unfortunately you have to maintain custom trace-like model for that.
Also you can make use of 'eAnnotations' property for example on
instances modified by transformation.

Creation of trace records is explained in Section 8.2.1.15 Mapping
Operation, Execution Semantics of QVT specification.
